Deposit in February, seats installed in January.

They are incredibly nice and far more comfortable and supportive than the 30 yr old seats that were replaced. Hoping to get out on a decent drive tomorrow. I opted for heat as well to keep the Mrs. happy.

I just installed mine and super happy with them. I found this set locally, a friend had bought them and never installed.

What's the consensus body coloured back or black?

I like how the carbon fiber back looks and would have gone with it on my car if the interior had any other carbon fiber. Otherwise, might as well go with body color since it’s all custom.

That's true! Would connect better.

I'm torn on body Color backs, as my car is GR. Wondering if it'd be too much. I have painted backs on another car but those are black on black car. Need to comb through this thread.

Looks great! Where'd you source the leather from?

It is nice quality leather and the color match is pretty darn perfect, to my eyes.
